To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
TERM LIMITS
There should be a maximum of 18 years for members of congress. 18 years of time in the Congress or Senate in any combination of service. Members should be forced to live with / under the ramifications of the legislation they vote on as private citizens during their lifetime. That way they would consider the true effects of things they vote on.
Why is this important?
The only way congress can remain fresh and effective is to have a constant infusion of new blood every few years. Incumbents have too much of a campaign advantage and become entrenched and out of touch with regular people. They spend all their time trying to get re-elected rather than legislating.
